FIRST WEEK CHECKLIST
Once you’ve moved in, there are many things you can do to get settled
and prepare for classes to begin.
FIND YOUR MAILBOX IN
THE UV OR MV CLUBHOUSE
You will receive your mailbox
number and combination at move-in.
Make sure you check your mailbox
often throughout the semester.
MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS
Your neighbors are the folks you’ll see
around Housing and campus all year.
Take time to introduce yourself and
get to know them. Campus will begin
to feel more like home as you make
connections with those around you.
GET INVOLVED
UNO offers many opportunities to
get involved outside of the classroom.
Students who are involved in clubs and
organizations are more likely to have a
positive campus experience and succeed
academically. Check out the clubs and
organizations that exist on campus (or
figure out how to start your own).
INTRODUCE YOURSELF
TO YOUR RA
Getting to know your RA is a great
way to begin to get connected
at UNO. They are here to help
you navigate the transition
to living on campus.
FIND YOUR CLASSES
Review your class schedule and figure
out where your classes will be held.
Take a walk through campus and
visit each classroom or meeting
space. Knowing how to get to
class ahead of time will make
your first week go smoothly.
GET YOUR BOOKS AND
CLASS MATERIALS
Visit the UNO bookstore in the Milo
Bail Student Center or online at
unobookstore.com to pick up your
textbooks and class materials.
Don’t forget to grab some UNO
swag while you’re there, too!
BIKE LOCKS
If you’re bringing your bike to
campus, we suggest using the
“U” shaped lock to discourage
theft. Don’t forget to register
your bike at the front desk.

REMOVE THE ITEMS IN MY ROOM?
While you are allowed to bring in outside furniture, we encourage

to supply internet services for students living on campus.
There are both wired and wireless services available. You’ll
receive steps on how to access the internet at move–in.

KNOW THE RULES
You have a unique opportunity to live in a community with other students.
To ensure that this is a positive experience for everyone, make yourself
familiar with our community policy book. You can find this
at housing.unomaha.edu.
IT’S OK TO COMPROMISE
Remember that four roommates means four ways of living. You should be
prepared to adjust your expectations according to your roommates and
vice–versa. For example, if you think the trash should be taken out twice
a week, but your roommates think once every two weeks is okay, a good
compromise could be to take out the trash once a week. Willingness to
compromise will make living with roommates
more enjoyable.
SHOW RESPECT
No matter the differences between roommates, you all should respect
one another. Keep in mind that different does not mean bad. In fact,
living with roommates from various backgrounds is a great opportunity to
learn about different lifestyles, opinions, and cultures. If you’re committed
to respecting those around you, you can live harmoniously with anyone.
BE RESPONSIBLE
Remember to take responsibility for your own space. You and your
roommates have to be comfortable with everything that goes on in
the apartment. At the beginning of the year, your Resident Assistant
(RA) will help you complete a Roommate Agreement with all of your
roommates. This is a required step to live on campus and will help start
the conversation among roommates about personal living preferences
and how to best use the space.
DISCUSS COMMON ISSUES
ADDRESSING AN ISSUE
Unfortunately, conicts are almost inevitable
when four individuals share one space.
Addressing it properly will help resolve issues
and ideally prevent future occurrences.
Below are steps for addressing an issue with
your new roommate(s).
COMMUNICATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS
A roommate can’t change a behavior if they don’t know that there is a concern.
It’s your responsibility to talk face–to–face with your roommate(s). Let them know
what the concern is and try to reach a common understanding or compromise.
SOMETIMES YOU NEED A LITTLE SPACE
If all of your attempts at resolving roommate issues have been unsuccessful, you can
request a new room. Keep in mind that you can’t request that a roommate be moved
from your current apartment. New room requests can only be processed if a different room
is available and approved by the HRL staff. This is a last resort for roommates in conflict.
TALK TO YOUR RESIDENT ASSISTANT
If you’ve discussed the issue with your roommate(s) but the issue continues, you should let
your RA know. Staff members are trained to help you resolve conflicts by assisting in a
mediated conversation. Mediation offers roommates a safe space to discuss any issues.
Your RA will help you and your roommates come to a solution and create a plan of action.

CENTRALIZED BILLING
HRL BILLING PROCESS
Any charges incurred for tuition, fees, and housing will appear on one
statement. Housing charges include rent as well as damages, recores,
and other housing-related fees. Payments made for housing are applied to
tuition and fees first on the centralized bill. Unpaid bills are subject to late
fees. If you are awarded scholarships and financial aid, it will be credited to
your UNO Student Account and will be applied against your tuition, fees,
and housing. This is dispersed once in the fall and once in the spring. All
scholarships and financial aid that is applied to MavLINK goes towards
tuition and fees first, then is applied to housing. For questions related to
charges or payments towards your housing on your centralized bill,
please contact HRL at 402.554.6605.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
VIOLATION PENALTIES
Any student removed from campus housing for student conduct reasons
will be held liable for the terms of their contract. Violating student conduct
policies does not provide students the ability to end their housing contract.
Students looking to end their housing contract forfeit their $200 deposit for
the administrative cancellation fee. Also, students are still responsible for the
remainder of their housing contract bills.
CANCELLATION POLICY
For details on the cancellation policy, please see your housing contract or
